My restoration project FC3S Turbo II

[Koose]

And my favourite purchase for her so far......im a huge lover of retro cars, and this screams retro sports car....a rear screen louvre.



Just balanced on straight out of the box in this pic, but we\'ll get it cleaned up, back to blacked and tiger bonded on.

Holy ..... Them things is rare over here. They seem to have them in America but only seen 1 other one over here.

[Koose]

Hehe, yeah it was \'in the attic\' so to speak at an Autoglass outlet.

I couldnt even find another picture of one with one fitted so thought it must be pretty rare.

[Prof]

ooh - rare and a bit \'marmite\' too - bet there will be some haterz along soon
 
It does remind me of the 70\'s and 80\'s though.  What\'s rear visibility like with this thing on ?

[captainbizzaro]

Fair play for thinking out of the box mate thats all I can say.

I like it :mmmm, it\'ll look even better when it\'s glossy black. Don\'t think it\'d look as good on a white car though.

[TiddlesRX7]

It reminds me of the Starion from Cannon Ball Run, so it gets the thumbs up from me!

i will try them hoses... and also, im afraid i "hate" that delorean style thing... looks crud... but its marmite... im 19 so maybe its before my time ha ha

[Koose]

Thats fair play fellas, i know its a marmite thing, as is the car itself. It popped up and i just thought...eighties car..eighties odd optional extra!


Fitted new waterpump today also:






Oh also, sorry Prof, forgot to answer your visability query, its really good, because all the slats are at 90 degrees to the ground when on the car, all you have is a few thin lines in your vision, certainly not as bad as say a spoiler or tint.

Shiny Shiny!

[Koose]

Hmm....theres a possibility of losing my job in the near future. As a car thats running well, but needs alot of welding to the floor/sills, is it worth trying to sell as is IF it comes to that. Not sure id want to break her, as shes heading in such an awesome direction with all the little touches, revitalised brakes and evo recaros etc.

[grinder]

how the hell did you find that rear cover

i have only seen one and that was in the states and the bloke was throwing it away but he wouldnt ship it to the UK

[captainbizzaro]

What a nightmare-hope you don\'t have to break her after all the work you\'ve put in.

[festa]

sorry to hear that mate hope it all works out

[monterx7]

wtf....that sucks koose.  hope everything works out for the best.
